Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Berino, NM.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Berino where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
