Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hackensack, MN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Hackensack where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
