Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bakers Mills, NY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bakers Mills where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
