Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Warwick, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Warwick where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
