Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Glen Daniel, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Glen Daniel where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
