Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Alexandria, SD.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Alexandria where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
