Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Rosston, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Rosston where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because 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. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
