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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hubbard where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start 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 which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
