Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wyatt, WV.

Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Wyatt where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and 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 centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
