Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Brownton, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Brownton where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
