Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Toivola, MI.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Toivola where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
