Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Chase Mills, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Chase Mills where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start 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 fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
