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.
