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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Keswick where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
