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

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Yancey where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
