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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of 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 Liscomb where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
