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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bentley where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it 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 for weeks. And since 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 stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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