Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Castle Creek, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Castle Creek where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
