Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Gallatin, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Gallatin where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
