Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Utica, MN.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Utica where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay 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. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin 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 severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
