Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wessington Springs, SD.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wessington Springs where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay 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, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
