Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fishkill, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Fishkill where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
