Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bedford, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bedford where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
