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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Marenisco where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
