Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Coal City, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Coal City where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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 detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
