Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - High Rolls Mountain Park, NM.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near High Rolls Mountain Park where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
