Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Noatak, AK.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Noatak where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. 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 detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
