Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ingleside, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Ingleside where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
