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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Glendora where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of 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 and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
