Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Corona, CA.

Methadone is a medication 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 started on a methadone clinic in or near Corona where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful 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 is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
