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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Galveston where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
