Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Arlington, KS.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Arlington where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
