Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clarklake, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Clarklake where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
