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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cutler where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug 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 and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
