Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Springdale, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Springdale where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
