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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Millersburg where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And 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 if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
