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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Highmount where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes 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 painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, 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 accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
