Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Clute, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Clute where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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