Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Taylorsville, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Taylorsville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
