Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pinon Hills, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pinon Hills where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
