Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Delhi, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Delhi where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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 since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
