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

Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Rawl where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can produce 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
