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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sanderson where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
