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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Williamston where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
