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

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Victor 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 individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
