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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Langtry where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which 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 more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
