Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Isaban, WV.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Isaban where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
