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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tell where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
