Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - New Boston, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near New Boston where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
