Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - North English, IA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near North English where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
