Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Reedley, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Reedley where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
