Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Copalis Beach, WA.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Copalis Beach where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
