Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Amma, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Amma where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, 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 remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
