Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Iaeger, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Iaeger where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
