Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fergus Falls, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Fergus Falls where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
