Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mooers Forks, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Mooers Forks where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
