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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Barry where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
