Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kimberly, ID.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of 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 Kimberly where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
