Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hadensville, VA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Hadensville where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

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