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

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Hague where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
