Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bohannon, VA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bohannon where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain 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 cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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