Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sanger, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Sanger where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will 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 really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
