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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Renville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
