Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Procious, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Procious where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
