Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lazbuddie, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lazbuddie where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, 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 detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
