Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Plainfield, NJ.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near South Plainfield where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.
