Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Stevensburg, VA.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Stevensburg where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
