Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Taylor, AR.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Taylor where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
