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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Boling where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and 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 that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
