Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Benson, MN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Benson where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
