Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pax, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Pax where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing 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 detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. 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 if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
