Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pierpont, SD.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pierpont where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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