Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ellston, IA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ellston where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
