Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Newport Coast, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Newport Coast where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about 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 because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
