Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Cochiti Lake, NM.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cochiti Lake where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
