Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fenton, MI.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Fenton where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
