Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Barbeau, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Barbeau where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And 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 when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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