Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Murfreesboro, AR.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Murfreesboro where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
