Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Clarence Center, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Clarence Center where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
