Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Flynn, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Flynn where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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