Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Industry, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Industry where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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