Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ceresco, MI.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Ceresco where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
