Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kinney, MN.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Kinney where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
