Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wappingers Falls, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Wappingers Falls where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since 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 stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
