Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - New Kingston, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near New Kingston where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
