Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fishers Landing, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fishers Landing where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
