Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Phillipsville, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with 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 Phillipsville where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
