Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fairlea, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Fairlea where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin 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. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay 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 is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
