Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fountain, MI.

Methadone is a prescription medication 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 Fountain where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering 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's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
