Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Blooming Grove, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Blooming Grove where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
