Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Le Roy, WV.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Le Roy where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
