Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Rogers, NM.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Rogers where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
