Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Maple City, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Maple City where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
