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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Picabo where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and 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 that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
