Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Alto, WV.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Mount Alto where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, 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 allow methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
