Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Millers Tavern, VA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Millers Tavern where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, since 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

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