Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Tomkins Cove, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Tomkins Cove where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
