Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Belleville, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Belleville where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing 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 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 are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
