Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ceres, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Ceres where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
