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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Weimar where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
