Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Deer Park, WA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Deer Park where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
