Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Des Moines where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
