Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cochiti Pueblo, NM.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Cochiti Pueblo where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
