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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Strawberry where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
