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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Minden where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing 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 can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
