Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Las Cruces, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Las Cruces where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
