Opiate Detox: Methadone Facts

Question: Has anyone gone threw opiate detox at a rehab, if so what do they do for you?

I'm going to a rehab detox tomorrow, and was wondering what they do for you. I'm on 125 mcg of Fentanyl every 2 days. I've been on this for 3 years. I've tried weeing myself off, but it didn't work. Lately I've been using to much, and not having any at the end of the month. I need professional help. I just would like to know what they do for people like me, thanks. Andrew

Depends on the facility. Usually they will medicate you to help you through withdrawal and keep track of your vital signs to ensure that you're okay. You may be given meds to help you sleep. You could be evaluated for other mental health problems. You will probably be expected to participate in group therapy sessions. Good luck.
