Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Danciger, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Danciger where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
