Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mobile City, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mobile City where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes 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 so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, 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 are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
