Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Clear Lake, SD.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Clear Lake where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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