Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Mud Butte, SD.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Mud Butte where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
