Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mabscott, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mabscott where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing 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 really bad flu and 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
