Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Arbon, ID.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Arbon where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
