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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Marlboro where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
