Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Netarts, OR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Netarts where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
