Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Glen White, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Glen White where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
