Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ward Cove, AK.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Ward Cove where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
