Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Omena, MI.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Omena where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
