Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clarence, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Clarence where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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