Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Macksburg, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Macksburg where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment 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 and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
