Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Anawalt, WV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Anawalt where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that 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 painful and last for weeks. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
