Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wicomico Church, VA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Wicomico Church where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
