Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Torreon, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Torreon where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
