Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sandy Point, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Sandy Point where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can stay 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
