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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Filer where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable 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.
