Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - New Trier, MN.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near New Trier where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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 stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
