Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mount Carbon, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Mount Carbon where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater 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, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
