Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Beaver, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Beaver where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
