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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mazeppa where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
