Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fort Rock, OR.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Fort Rock where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
