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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Alvin where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
