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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Saltillo where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
