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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Buskirk where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
