Facts

  • Prescription central nervous system depressants slow down brain function, and if combined with other medications that cause drowsiness or with alcohol, heart rate and respiration can slow down dangerously.
  • Withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol may result in seizures or even coma if not handled in an in-patient setting.
  • The FDA has urged physicians to use great caution when prescribing methadone, because of the potential for respiratory distress and dangerous changes in an individual's heart beat that cannot be felt by the patient.
  • When an individual stops consuming alcohol, alcohol level in their body can actually continue to increase. No amount of coffee, cold baths, showers, or trying to walk it off will stop this process.

Methadone Detoxification - New Pine Creek, OR.

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. 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, sweating, nausea, extreme cravings, tremors, sneezing, irritability, fever, chills, anxiety, paranoia, fuzzy-headedness, 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 you have been taking 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.
