Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tunnelton, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Tunnelton where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
