Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Howe, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Howe where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
