Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - San Ysidro, NM.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near San Ysidro where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
