Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Campbell, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Campbell where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can 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 which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
