Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cusick, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cusick where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
