Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Buffalo, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Buffalo where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
