Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Arbovale, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Arbovale where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
