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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hillsdale where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time.
