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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Novi where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
