Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hemlock, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Hemlock where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
