Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Driscoll, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Driscoll where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay 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. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
