Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Natural Bridge, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Natural Bridge where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
