Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Duvall, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Duvall where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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