Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pioneertown, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Pioneertown where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
