Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Moorefield, WV.

Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Moorefield where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
