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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Valencia where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes 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 for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
