Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Weinert, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Weinert where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
