Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Seneca, NY.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near West Seneca where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
