Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Prudhoe Bay, AK.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Prudhoe Bay where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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