Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - De Kalb, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near De Kalb where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
