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

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Metz where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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