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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Munising where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
