Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Carp Lake, MI.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Carp Lake where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
