Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Tomball, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tomball where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes 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 harsh and last such a long time.

Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
