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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Buckholts 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 individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
