Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Eden Valley, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Eden Valley where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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 may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
