Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - McLendon Chisholm, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near McLendon Chisholm where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute 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 person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
