Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Drybranch, WV.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Drybranch where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
