Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Carnation, WA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Carnation where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
