Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Camp Crook, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Camp Crook 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, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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