Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Glenville, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Glenville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which 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 which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
