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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lacey where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
