Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Delancey, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Delancey where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and 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 detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
