Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mcchord AFB, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mcchord AFB where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing 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 severe flu which may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
