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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Evart where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since 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. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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