Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Carrizo Springs, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Carrizo Springs where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
