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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Davenport where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
