Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mont Belvieu, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mont Belvieu where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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