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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bellmead where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
