Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Los Ebanos, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Los Ebanos where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
