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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tracyton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
