Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Newfane, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Newfane where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since 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 resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
