Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gilman, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Gilman where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
