Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mc Dowell, VA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mc Dowell where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. 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 feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
