Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Schuyler Lake, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Schuyler Lake where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit 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 muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
