Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - West Stockholm, NY.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near West Stockholm where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
