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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Fremont where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
