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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Milan 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 stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
