Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Norton, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Norton where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened 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 detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
