Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Tawakoni, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near West Tawakoni where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing 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 and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
