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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Marshall where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug 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 and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
