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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Paris where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of 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, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
