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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Curtis where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
