Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bass Lake, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bass Lake where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
