Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Auriesville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Auriesville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
