Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wagon Mound, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wagon Mound where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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