Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Eagleville, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Eagleville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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 stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can 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 detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
