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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Farmington where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
