Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Benbrook, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Benbrook where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because 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. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
