Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gardiner, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Gardiner where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce 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 so long. Additionally, since 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
