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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Humboldt where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
