Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cameron, TX.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Cameron where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
