Will a Detox Center in NYC Help Someone Detox From Methadone?

Question by matthew schraud: Will a detox center in NYC help someone detox from methadone?
I’ve been on methadone treatment for over a year because of a heroin addiction. I want to get off it because i want to go into a program for alcoholics but they dont accept people on drugs. I don’t want to do it at home because I know its extremely painful and dangerous. I live in NYC. Is there a detox center that will detox me from this drug?

Answer by Sam
Is there anyway you would be ok with leaving the state? I am surprised because most detox centers will detox you off of anything. Look specifically for detoxes that specialize in methadone withdrawal because usually methadone detoxes require special medications.

Check out that link above. It will tell you all about methadone withdrawal and you could find help if you call the number to find the right detox for you. I dont know if it will work but it may be worth a shot.
