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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Toyahvale where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
