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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tustin where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
