Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Morton, WA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Morton where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit 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 muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
