Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - La Jara, NM.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near La Jara where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, 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 harsh and last so long. 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 similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
