Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Yacolt, WA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Yacolt where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
