Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Zion, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mount Zion where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

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