Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Manchaca, TX.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Manchaca where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence 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 far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
