Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Collins, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Collins where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And 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 like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
