Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Grey Forest, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Grey Forest where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because 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 when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
