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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Tyronza where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
