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

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Connelly where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of 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 and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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