Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Midland, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Midland where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
