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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lingleville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
