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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Canvas where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
