Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Harrington Park, NJ.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Harrington Park where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long.
