Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Flom, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Flom where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
