Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tivoli, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Tivoli where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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