Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Missouri Valley, IA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Missouri Valley where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
