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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Termo where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin 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 can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
