Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Center Point, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Center Point where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
