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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Coburg where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it.
