Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Santa Ysabel, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Santa Ysabel where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
