Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Nineveh, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Nineveh where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, 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 and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when 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, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
