Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Victor, CA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Victor where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
