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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Boonville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, 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 harsh and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may 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 feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
