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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sherrill where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
