Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Max, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Max where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
