Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pharr, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pharr where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
