Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ostrander, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Ostrander where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
