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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Calliham where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
