Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Petersburg, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Petersburg where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because coming off it can produce 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 for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles 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 offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
