Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Frost, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Frost where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
