Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Quilcene, WA.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Quilcene where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because 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 stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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