Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Verona Beach, NY.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Verona Beach where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
