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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Longville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
