Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - French Creek, WV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near French Creek where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
