Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cherry Plain, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cherry Plain where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And 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. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
