Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mosquero, NM.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mosquero where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
