Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Rogue River, OR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Rogue River where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
