Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mount Holly, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mount Holly where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it 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, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can 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 detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
