Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Glen Dale, WV.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Glen Dale where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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