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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Crosbyton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
