Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tolar, TX.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tolar where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
