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

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Williamsburg where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, 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 detox facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
