Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Taft, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Taft where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce 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 remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
