Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mason City, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mason City where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
