Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Round Lake, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Round Lake where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like 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, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
