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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tucker where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
