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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Norphlet where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain 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 is like 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
