Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Waitsburg, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Waitsburg where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may 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 which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
