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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Heth where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
