Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Placitas, NM.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Placitas where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing 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 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 provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
