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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sacul where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because 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 harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
