Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Willits, CA.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Willits where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
