Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - West Fulton, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near West Fulton where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
