Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Burrel, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Burrel where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
