Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Franklinville, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Franklinville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, 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 if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
