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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Tensed where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off 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 greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
