Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Spade, TX.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Spade where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
