Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Munnsville, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Munnsville where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
