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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Swift where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since 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 if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
