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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Mulino where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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