Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Strawberry Valley, CA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Strawberry Valley where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering 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 remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
