Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Brocton, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Brocton where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
