Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Weippe, ID.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Weippe where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
