Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bledsoe, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bledsoe where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, 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 feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
