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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Wellington where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance 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, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may 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 are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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