Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Seymour, TX.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Seymour where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
