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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hollandale where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
