Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ransomville, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Ransomville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can bring about 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
