Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wolcott, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wolcott where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, 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 methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
