Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Van Vleck, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Van Vleck where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
