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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Seminole where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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