Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Alanreed, 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 started on a methadone clinic in or near Alanreed where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
