Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Nunam Iqua, AK.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Nunam Iqua where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
