Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Albuquerque where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
