Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Haven, MN.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near South Haven where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since 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 stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
