Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Terra Alta, WV.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Terra Alta where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.

Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
