Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Maybee, MI.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Maybee where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
