Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Poplar Grove, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Poplar Grove where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing 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 such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
