Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Manvel, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Manvel where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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