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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Payette where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
