Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Maple Springs, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Maple Springs where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
