Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Middleton, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Middleton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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