Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ben Bolt, TX.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Ben Bolt where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
