Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Pompeii, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Pompeii where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
