Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wooster, AR.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wooster where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
