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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Thorp where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
