Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Malone, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Malone where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
