Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Le Roy, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Le Roy where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain 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 is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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