Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Climax, MI.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Climax where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, 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 may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
