Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Iota, LA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Iota where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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