Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Victor, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Victor where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming 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 usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, 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 patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
