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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Guerra where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
