Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Donnelly, ID.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Donnelly where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
