Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Almelund, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Almelund where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox 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.
