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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Frankfort where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may 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 accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
