Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Broadview, NM.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Broadview where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
