Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Texarkana where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like 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, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
