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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Joinerville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to 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 considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, 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 programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
