Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - New Plymouth, ID.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Plymouth where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
