Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Grey Eagle, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grey Eagle where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
