Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Middle Grove, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Middle Grove where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering 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 feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, 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 allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
