Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - The Sea Ranch, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near The Sea Ranch where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
