Facts

  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • LSD use reached its highest peak during the 1960s and '70s, where it was typically used by those in the "hippie" youth culture during that time.
  • Most heroin sold on the street sell is in the form of a powder, which varies in color from white to dark brown because of additives and impurities.
  • An individual who is considering ending use of central nervous system depressants, or who has stopped and is suffering withdrawal should seek medical treatment due to the dangers involved in withdrawal from CNS depressants.

Moline Acres, MO. - Methadone Detoxification

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 methadone. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, sneezing, irritability, fever, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, methadone withdrawal symptoms will last 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 stopping all at once.
