Facts

  • How many drug withdrawal symptoms an individual experiences, how long they last and how severe they are can vary from person to person.
  • Methadone has always been known as the replacement drug for people that are addicted to opiates such as heroin, morphine and other narcotics, and is commonly used as part of methadone maintenance treatment.
  • When an individual is experiencing the withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of heroin or other opiates, this is commonly referred to as going "cold turkey".

Gilmer - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone and how long the person has been using methadone, the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
