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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Goshen where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
