Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bramwell, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bramwell where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay 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 like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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