Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Whitlash, MT.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Whitlash where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
