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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Success where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, 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 centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
