Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - South Jamesport, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near South Jamesport where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
