Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Winters, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Winters where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
