Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clarkia, ID.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Clarkia where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, 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 allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
