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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Ola where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that 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 remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
