Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Northville, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Northville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
