Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Nett Lake, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Nett Lake where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
