Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Midland, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Midland where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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