Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mentone, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mentone where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
