Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Terra Bella, CA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Terra Bella where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
