Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lake Norden, SD.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lake Norden where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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