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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wabash where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
