Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - California City, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near California City where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
