Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Blomkest, MN.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Blomkest where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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