Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Crouch, ID.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Crouch where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
