Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lookout, WV.

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Lookout where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
