Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fosston, MN.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fosston where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
