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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Lodi where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
