Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of 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 Mcnary where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
