Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Grosse Ile, MI.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Grosse Ile where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
