Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Milan, MN.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Milan where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace 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 much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
