Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Angleton, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Angleton where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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