Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Adrian, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Adrian where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay 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 similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
