Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - North Rose, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near North Rose where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
