Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pyote, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Pyote where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
