Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - San Anselmo, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near San Anselmo where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce 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 so long. And because 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 stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
