Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Clear Brook, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Clear Brook where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
