Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Otho, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Otho where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to 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. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
