Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ancramdale, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ancramdale where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
