Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Janesville, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Janesville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
