Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mc Caskill, AR.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mc Caskill where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
