Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cadyville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cadyville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
