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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Retsil where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
