Methadone is used in opioid replacement therapy but it is also a popular drug of abuse among addicts. Methadone is a synthetic opioid that is very powerful, long-acting, and creates a strong high that is highly addictive. For individuals abusing methadone, or taking it as prescribed for opioid replacement therapy, it can be very difficult to detox from this drug. The physical symptoms as well as the psychological cravings, anxiety, and insomnia pose a challenge in overcoming methadone dependency. However, a methadone detox for Long Island, Queens, and Staten Island residents provides the right medication, support, and clinical supervision to ensure a successful detox.
