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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jasper where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start 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 and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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