Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bivins, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bivins where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
