Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Soquel, CA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Soquel where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
