Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Peralta, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Peralta where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
