Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Clarkfield, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Clarkfield where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
