Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ducor, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ducor where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
