Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Rowlesburg, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Rowlesburg where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
