Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Maurice, IA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Maurice where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
