Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pierre, SD.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pierre where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
