Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Whiteface, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Whiteface where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because 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 when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
