Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Point Mugu Nawc, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Point Mugu Nawc where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, 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 like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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