Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Celeste, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Celeste where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may 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 chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
