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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Waucoma where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
