Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Woodlake, TX.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Woodlake where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
