Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sebastian, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sebastian where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
