Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mill Creek, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mill Creek where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox 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.
