Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hasty, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hasty where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
