Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Sulphur Bluff, TX.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sulphur Bluff where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
