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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Brushton where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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