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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Garfield where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, because 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme 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 medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
