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

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Yorkshire where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
