Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Battery Park, VA.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Battery Park where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
