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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bovill where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin 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 really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
