Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Westgate, IA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Westgate where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
