Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Conda, ID.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Conda where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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