Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lyons Falls, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lyons Falls where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
