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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ihlen where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
