Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Crimora, VA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Crimora where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
