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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Taopi where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
