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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cleveland where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
