Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Woodland Hills, CA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Woodland Hills where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
