Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Goree, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Goree where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
