Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Niland, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Niland where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
