Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Round Hill, VA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Round Hill where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
