Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Rockwood, MI.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Rockwood where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And 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 when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
