Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chevak, AK.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Chevak where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
