Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Murphys, CA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Murphys where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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 considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which 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 allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
