Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kiron, IA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Kiron where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
