Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Eitzen, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Eitzen where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay 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, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
