Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Chehalis, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Chehalis where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of 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 severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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