Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Scottsburg, OR.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Scottsburg where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. 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 like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
