Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bellvale, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bellvale where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. 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 such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
