Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cass, WV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Cass where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
