Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mountainair, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mountainair where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
