Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Millwood, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Millwood where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
