Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Onekama, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of 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 Onekama where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
