Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Romeo, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Romeo where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which 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 that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
