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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mesa where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
