Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Centralia, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Centralia where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
