Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Maud, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Maud where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain 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 resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
