Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Draper, SD.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Draper where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
