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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Solon where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
