Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Coralville, IA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Coralville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can 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 provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
