Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Coal Hill, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Coal Hill where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
