Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bloomfield, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in 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 Bloomfield where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when 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, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
