Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Plessis, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Plessis where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
