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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dayton where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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