Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Churchville, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Churchville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will 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 are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
