Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alcalde, NM.

Methadone is a prescription medication 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 clinic in or near Alcalde where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start 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 feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
