Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hollis, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hollis where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
