Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sand Fork, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sand Fork where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
