Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Halcottsville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Halcottsville where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin 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 really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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