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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hicksville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
