Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - New Cuyama, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Cuyama where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
