Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mimbres, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mimbres where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when 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 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
