Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lost Creek, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lost Creek where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
