Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bridgewater, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bridgewater where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
