Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Andes, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Andes where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened 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 detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
