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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lotus where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce 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 painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
