Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ararat, VA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Ararat where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
