Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sunland, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Sunland 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 stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
