Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Grand Marais, MI.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Grand Marais where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
