Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - West Falls, NY.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near West Falls where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, 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 methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
