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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Levittown where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance 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's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, since 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
