Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burdett, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Burdett where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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, because 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 stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
