Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Blachly, OR.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Blachly where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
