Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bagley, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bagley where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of 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 which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
