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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Byron where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce 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. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
