Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sutton, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sutton where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

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