Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Yoncalla, OR.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Yoncalla where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start 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, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
