Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Yorba Linda, CA.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Yorba Linda where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can 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 which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
