Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Eldridge, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Eldridge where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay 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. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
