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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Paragould where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
