Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Clare, IA.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Clare where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing 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 which may include chills, fever, 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 which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
