Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Callicoon Center, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Callicoon Center where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
