Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Quinque, VA.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Quinque where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
