Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Kenna, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Kenna where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin 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 are likened to a severe flu and may 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
