Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Honey Creek, IA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Honey Creek where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, 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 for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
