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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bruni where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
