Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Highland, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Highland where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
