Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Roaring Springs, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Roaring Springs where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
