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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Eveleth where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
