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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Coates where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
