Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dike, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dike where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
