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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Wagner where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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