Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Orange Cove, CA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Orange Cove where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
