Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Teeds Grove, IA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Teeds Grove where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, 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 accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
