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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hemet where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
