Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Beaumont, CA.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Beaumont where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 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 more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
