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

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Chilton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about 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 such a long time. And 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
