Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Evans, WA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Evans where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
