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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Nevada where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
