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

Methadone is a 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 clinic in or near Guilford where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
