Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Long Barn, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Long Barn where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
