Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - South Branch, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near South Branch where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
