Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Egegik, AK.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Egegik where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
