Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Union Hall, VA.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Union Hall where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
