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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Greig where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And 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 when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
