Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Big Bar, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Big Bar where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
