Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hamburg, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hamburg where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce 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 so long. And considering 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. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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