Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sunrise Beach Village, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sunrise Beach Village where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing 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 and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
