Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - East Moriches, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near East Moriches where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit 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, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
