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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sheffield where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
