Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Barneveld, NY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Barneveld where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
