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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near San Ramon where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
