Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Wilton, MN.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wilton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, 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. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like 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, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
