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

Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Montrose where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
