Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Whitmer, WV.

Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Whitmer where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 harsh and last so long. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will 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 feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the person detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
