Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cavour, SD.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Cavour where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay 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 resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
