Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Interlaken, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Interlaken where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
