Facts

  • Many doctors in the U.S. choose to use methadone for treating chronic pain in patients even though some of these patients are thought to have a propensity for addiction.
  • Large amounts of dopamine in the brain as a result of a methamphetamine may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites.
  • The rate of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. has increased five-fold since 1990, primarily due to the non-medical use of prescription drugs.
  • The high level of alcohol consumption is many times greater than the level of illegal drug use, making it one of America's most serious drug problems.

Methadone Detoxification - Eastchester, New York

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone you have been taking the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification typically advise the gradual decrease of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
