Facts

  • Taken orally once a day, methadone suppresses narcotic withdrawal for between 24 and 36 hours.
  • Long-term use of OxyContin often results in tolerance to the drug, causing the user to take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects. This can happen through both legitimate and illicit use of the drug.
  • Vicodin overdose can be fatal or result in permanent brain damage if treatment is delayed and a large amount of the drug has been taken, so it is important that individuals get help immediately if it is suspected that they have overdosed.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
