Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Alamo, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Alamo where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since 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 and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
