Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Siloam Springs, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Siloam Springs where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
