Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Paradise Inn, WA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Paradise Inn where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
