Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Marked Tree, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Marked Tree where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
