Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cowiche, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cowiche where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
