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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Salyer where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, 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 feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
