Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Farmersville Station, NY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Farmersville Station where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
