Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Stamford, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Stamford where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks.
