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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Tornillo where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
