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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bertram where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
