Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Spring Brook, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Spring Brook where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can produce 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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