Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Garner, AR.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Garner where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
