Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Blooming Grove, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Blooming Grove where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering 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 when they quit taking it cold turkey. 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
