Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sunray, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Sunray where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because 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 remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
