Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Foley, MN.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Foley where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
