Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Cedar Grove, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Cedar Grove where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
