Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Brooks, MN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Brooks where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
