Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Nisula, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Nisula where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
