Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Vails Gate, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for 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 Vails Gate where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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