Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bard, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bard where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
