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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sublime where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
