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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Forsan where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it.
