Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Teton, ID.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Teton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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