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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cotati where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing 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 harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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