Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Valera, TX.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Valera where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
