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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jacksboro where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
