Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cuba, NM.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cuba where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
