Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Stanardsville, VA.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Stanardsville where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
