Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Caliente, CA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Caliente where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
