Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Quogue, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near East Quogue where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, 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 that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
