Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - New Haven, MI.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Haven where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
