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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Excelsior where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
