Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Daggett, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Daggett where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
