Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gillett Grove, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Gillett Grove where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing 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 severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
