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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Orange where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
