Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - St. Clair, MI.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near St. Clair where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
