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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Harrison where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification 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.
