Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Sequoia National Park, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sequoia National Park where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
