Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Culver, OR.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Culver where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. 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 because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
