Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Webster, NY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Webster where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long.
