Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Tilly, AR.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tilly where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
