Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - New Boston, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Boston where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
