Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Red Lick, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Red Lick where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
