Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Grant, IA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Grant where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
