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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Reklaw where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
