Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Silver City, NV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Silver City where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, 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 that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
