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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Italy where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last so long. And because 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
