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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bartley where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, 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, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
