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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Beaumont where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
