Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Edgemont, AR.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Edgemont where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like 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.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
